Israel Launches Major Strikes Across Iran; Dozens of IRGC Commanders Killed
The Israeli forces launched extensive airstrikes on multiple strategic and military targets across Iran, including Tehran, Isfahan, Natanz, and Hamadan. Explosions were reported near Mehrabad Airport, IRGC command centers, radar installations, and nuclear facilities, with footage showing intense fires and smoke in various districts of the capital. At least 78 people were reported killed and over 320 injured in Iran, including senior IRGC commanders such as Hossein Salami, Amir Ali Hajizadeh, and Gholamali Rashid. In retaliation, the Iranian regime fired more than 400 missiles and drones toward Israeli cities, including Tel Aviv, reportedly resulting in several deaths and injuries. The IRGC officially claimed responsibility for the strikes.
Amid the unfolding conflict, global powers responded with urgency. The United Nations Security Council convened an emergency session at Iran’s request. U.S. officials confirmed military support to Israel in intercepting Iranian ballistic missiles, with American destroyers and an aircraft carrier strike group deployed to the region. French President Macron warned Iran was nearing a nuclear weapons threshold, while Germany, the UK, and Japan condemned the escalation. The Iranian regime’s Supreme Leader, Ali Khamenei, appointed new commanders after the reported deaths of top military leaders and vowed severe retaliation. Meanwhile, economic markets reacted sharply: oil prices surged by nearly 9% and the Iranian rial plummeted.
Iranian Dissident Group Reveals Regime’s Covert ‘Desert Plan’ Nuclear Bomb Program
Iranian opposition group NCRI has unveiled explosive new evidence alleging that Iran’s nuclear weapons program has resumed under the direct supervision of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, representing a serious escalation with far-reaching implications for global stability and regional security.
In a Tuesday press conference, Alireza Jafarzadeh, Deputy Director of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI)’s Washington Office, detailed findings from the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK), exposing Iran’s clandestine Kavir Plan — a covert nuclear weapons program disguised as satellite-launching missile research.
Demonizing the Struggle of a People Who Resist
A petty neighborhood thief used to complain about why, after every robbery, the police would come straight to him and search his house — yet the stolen goods were always found right there. In his biweekly newsletter for La Repubblica, Francesco De Leo once again echoed slanders against the main organization of the Iranian Resistance, the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK). Apparently, it’s no longer enough to portray the Iranian theocracy through De Leo’s lens, painting it as almost democratic. That is no longer sufficient for a regime facing an ever-deepening crisis.
De Leo was recently “authorized by the regime to follow a day of parliamentary proceedings” in Iran. But what must one do to receive such a rare favor from such a secretive regime — one that suppresses freedoms and has turned Iran into the world’s largest prison for journalists?
One must contribute to demonizing the opposition to the theocratic regime — especially its most feared adversary, the People’s Mojahedin — by parroting the regime’s propaganda.
IAEA Report and NCRI Exposé Unmask Tehran’s Nuclear Weapons Deception
The facade is crumbling. The latest International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Board of Governors meeting has officially cornered the Iranian regime, exposing its contradictory statements and defiant lies on the world stage.
But this is more than just another diplomatic showdown. A bombshell revelation by the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) on June 10, 2025, unmasking the secret “Kavir Plan,” provides the missing context. It proves that the regime’s panic at the IAEA is a desperate attempt to shield an active, clandestine nuclear weapons program ordered by Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei himself.
The combination of the IAEA’s factual reporting and the detailed intelligence from the Resistance network inside Iran leaves no room for doubt: the clerical regime’s nuclear program has always been a military project, and its diplomacy is nothing but a tool of deception.
Arghavan Fallahi: 4 Months of Detention in Ward 209 of Evin
In her most recent phone call to her family, approximately a month ago, she expressed deep concern about the ambiguity of her situation. Despite the passage of time, no official charges have been announced, and judicial authorities have made no effort to grant her temporary release or schedule a court hearing. Arghavan Fallahi was arrested on January 25, 2025, by security forces at her residence in Tehran and transferred to Ward 209 of Evin Prison, a detention facility under the control of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence.
The 25-year-old woman who resided in Parand, near Tehran, suffers from a chronic medical condition and has been deprived of access to her essential medications since her detention.
Political Prisoners at Evin Protest Execution of Mojahed Kourkour
Following the execution of political prisoner Mojahid Kourkour, political prisoners in the women’s ward and Ward 4 of Evin Prison held protests to express their outrage and condemnation. Mojahed Kourkour was from Izeh, in Khuzestan Province. He was executed in the early hours of Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at Sheiban Prison in Ahvaz. The protest began during the outdoor time, when news of Kourkour’s execution reached the prisoners. Outraged by the news, the political prisoners in the women’s ward and Ward 4 observed a minute of silence, in memory of Mojahed Kourkour.
The prisoners wrote the slogan “No to Execution” on the prison yard floor and raised handwritten signs with the same message.
Day Two of Iranian Protest in Vienna: MEK Supporters Condemn Executions, Nuclear Threats, and Call to Blacklist IRGC
Vienna, Austria – June 11, 2025 — For the second consecutive day, coinciding with the International Atomic Energy Agency’s (IAEA) Board of Governors meeting, freedom-loving Iranians and supporters of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI) and the People’s Mojahedin Organization of Iran (PMOI/MEK) gathered at Muhammad-Asad-Platz in Vienna. They raised concerns about the Iranian regime’s nuclear ambitions and called for immediate international action.
Iran’s Brain Drain Crisis: How Corruption and Repression Are Driving a Generation Away
Brain drain is a challenge facing Iranian society. Bahram Salavati, researcher and former director of the Iranian Migration Observatory, told the state-run Entekhab news outlet on June 9: “Every 10 years—starting from 2006, the year that administration came in which they called the ‘miracle of the millennium’—we have seen the number of Iranian students abroad double. If we start at 15,000 that year, it reached 30,000 after the first decade. Then in the late 2000s and early 2010s, it rose from 30,000 to 60,000. But just in the past four or five years, that 60,000 has jumped to 120,000 students. Meaning we did what used to take 10 years in just four.”
Salavati continued: “If we continue at this pace, we’ll realize what’s happening. For the first time in this country’s history, we have more than 100,000 students abroad—just in numbers. … The return rate is 1%—that’s extremely dangerous. Migration has become one-way. The concept of brain circulation doesn’t apply to Iran at all. And this is the picture we’re facing in 2025, while the major shocks are still ahead of us.”
